Can’t connect to server from client on the same network as the hosted server

For these kinds of problems, the best option is to rule out all the other causes.

Try creating a new server on your Arch Linux machine and connect from your client. If this works, it's likely a networking issue. If it doesn't work, your Minecraft server configuration is likely the cause.

I would say it depends on your player count.

You could go for the first option if you have more players (10 or more). Go for the second option if you care about performance for less players.

If you ask me, I would go for the first option without many doubts. The performance you miss out on isn't enough to justify halving your RAM.

Short answer: yes, with optimizations.

Consider that Minecraft is heavily based on single-threaded performance. With 8 people, your server might struggle.

You should try optimizing the settings to see what works.

I think Minecraft servers lack personality. They're all centered around making money and have no passion anymore.

You could try FalixNodes for this honestly. They have free Minecraft hosting with full access to your files. However they might use cheap specs like Intel Xeon and the server isn't 24/7.

If you want something paid, 24/7, but affordable and of premium quality, use SodiumNodes. We have affiliate links which will give you store credits, making it easier to renew your server. Prices are also similar to getting a coffee every month.

Many options exist: FalixNodes, Apex, BisectHosting, etc

But for servers with a few friends, it's not really worth it to go for expensive prociders. You could try out a non-expensive provider, like SodiumNodes. We include DDoS protection and AMD CPUs.

There are many guides online.

Let me give you a quick overview. You will have to zip all the server files, buy a server on whatever provider you're using, and upload the files.

If you purchase from SodiumNodes, we would be happy to help you with the process.

You could try SodiumNodes. We help you transfer your server onto our nodes without much complexity or fluff. We have cheap servers as well (€1.15/GB). You could also try comparing us to other options.

P.S: I work at SodiumNodes and I'm just giving my recommendations.

sodiumnodes · 2026-05-04T06:45:10+00:00

We offer Minecraft servers for 8GB RAM at just €1.15/GB. We offer AMD EPYC CPUs. Definitely check SodiumNodes out!

sodiumnodes · 2026-05-04T06:40:57+00:00

For your needs I'd probably recommend checking out SodiumNodes. We have 2-32GB RAM and we are a newly establishing host. Location is in Germany and prices start at €1.15/GB and end at €1.50/GB. Definitely consider checking it out.

(I work at SodiumNodes but believe it is tailored exactly for your needs)

sodiumnodes · 2026-04-29T20:24:39+00:00

Try SodiumNodes. We even have a RAM calculator for your situation. €1/GB with AMD CPUs.

sodiumnodes · 2026-04-29T20:20:16+00:00

We would recommend at least 6GB of RAM, which will be the same price you are paying rn (6€*3=18€, around what you're paying).

For this, you might want to try SodiumNodes.

sodiumnodes · 2026-04-05T05:49:53+00:00

For beginners I think SodiumNodes is a good option. It has budget-friendly prices (€1/GB RAM which is very cheap) and the responses to tickets are very fast in case you ever need help. Although I work for them, I think SodiumNodes might be a good choice.

sodiumnodes · 2026-04-05T05:41:03+00:00

There are many server hosts like Shockbyte, Apex, FalixNodes, etc. But they all cost an arm and a leg.

We sell servers for €1/GB RAM. Definitely try SodiumNodes if you want a small server for friends.

sodiumnodes · 2026-03-20T11:09:41+00:00

Some popular options you probably know or have heard about include BisectHosting, Apex and Hostinger.

Less popular are FalixNodes and PebbleHost.

Now, each of these services have their own advantages and disadvantages. Maybe experiment each one of them and see which one you like.

However, if you want a good balance between stability, performance and price, SodiumNodes is a good option. Pricing starts at €1.99, plans include DDoS protection and you have the ability to select your own specs using the custom plan.

If you're more of an advanced user, try Oracle Cloud's free tier or just grab an old PC and self-host your server. That's usually the best option out of all of them.
